I knew Kimber had a handgun of import, but sources inside the company were silent as to what it actually was. Those Kimber guys can really keep a secret. Pleasant surprises are few and far between these days, but the Kimber Solo 9 is indeed one. The Yonkers, New York, manufactured gun is recoil-operated six-round-capacity 9 mm that is 5 ½" long with a 2.7" barrel that weigh only 19 ounces without ammunition. It is a striker-fired design with 90 percent of the striker being pre-loaded on slide movement, making for an excellent trigger. It comes with an ambidextrous safety, three dot sights and is available in stainless on silver anodized frame or a two-tone. It is handsome gun worthy of the Kimber name … and well worth the wait. The Kimber guys, despite its short barrel and mere 4.4” sight radius, that the little gun is extremely accurate. The frames is of 7075-T7 aluminum and the slide is of stainless steel. It resembles a Model 1903 Colt with an M1911 grip angle, and the all silver-tone gun looks like an AMT Back-Up with a touch of class. The best ergonomic part of the gun is the raduised angle at the top rear of the grip strap. It is wide and smooth, and this might be one of the most shootable guns in the class. Only range time will tell.

SIG Sauer had their new SIG556 R on hand to show off, and with good reason. Based on the SIG556 platform, the SIG556 R is chambered in 7.62x39 mm, and features a gas-piston, rotating bolt operating system. The 1 in 9.5" twist in the 16-inch barrel helps to give it greater accuracy than standard AK-style rifles. Originally designed with the special forces operator in mind, the SIG556 R is designed to accept most AK magazines. The MSRP is $1266.

SHOT Show 2011 provided the perfect opportunity to get an up-close look at Kel-Tec's anticipated KSG, one of the first bullpup shotguns to hit the market. Looking very similar to the RFB, the KSG is Kel-Tec's first attempt at a pump-action shotgun, and, in addition to being a bullpup, features dual magazine tubes, each offering a capacity of 7 2 3/4-inch 12-gauge shells. This gives the gun a 14+1 capacity total, though the magazine tubes have to be manually selected in order to chamber rounds. On top of its unusual bullpup shotgun design, the KSG ejects empty shells downward instead of towards a certain side.
